The Israeli media has become hysterical in calling on Admiral Eli Marom to step down from the Navy’s helm. Marom’s sins are unbearable: he frequented a Tel Aviv strip bar.
The admiral’s behavior fell short of the Pirates of the Caribbean or, for that matter, of US Navy sailors, whom the mayor of Haifa welcomed back enthusiastically after local prostitutes and drink-houses suffered their absence for some years.
Admiral Marom greatly improved the Israeli Navy and restructured the little-used branch into a powerful support for ground operations, such as in the Cast Lead.
Just for the record, the “Pirates of the Caribbean”, for the most part were Jews. Google it and you will see. They were part of a world wide network working to find land, establish colonies and safe havens for persecuted Jews, most specifically from Spain and Portugal. And, btw, Crostobal Colon’ was a Crypto Jew. There are Jewish graves all over the Caribbean.
Looking at Israeli Navy raids in the Red Sea against Hamas ships, Eli Marom would have made a good pirate
